Ask Appraisal IQ

Answers come only from the guides in the library, with a citation on every rule. Tap a citation to read the passage. If the library doesn't cover it, Appraisal IQ says so instead of guessing.

AI-assisted work and USPAP (AO-41)Answers are information from the guides, not assignment results. What AO-41 says

USPAP Advisory Opinion 41, Use of Technology in an Appraisal or Appraisal Review Assignment (April 23, 2026) explains how USPAP applies when you use tools like Appraisal IQ:

  • You stay responsible. A tool can't comply with USPAP. Its output is information, not assignment results, until you evaluate it and decide whether to rely on it.
  • Answers here are like a reference source. AO-41 treats AI output the same as information from a data vendor: you analyze it and decide whether it's relevant (Illustration, Question 5). Check the cited passage before you rely on an answer.
  • If you rely on an answer in developing your analysis or conclusions, your work file must show how you used it: the output, what you asked, and your own analysis (Record Keeping; Question 6). If you looked but didn't rely on it, a short note on why may be enough.
  • Disclosure in the report is needed only when leaving it out would mislead intended users. Using a tool doesn't by itself require naming it.

Each answer has a Work file record button. It captures your question, the answer, the sources cited and an AO-41 checklist for you to complete and sign. You can save it as a PDF to your computer or copy it. Appraisal IQ keeps no copy.
